About our bath resealing in Pontyates
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Our technicians work on baths, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about silicone coming away from the tiles and leaks at the edges.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Questions from Pontyates
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Are there extra charges for Pontyates?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Keep the joints dry
- Air the room after use
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Signs you need bath resealing in Pontyates
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

- Unsealed corners
- Old sealant that looks dirty

- Leaks at the edges
Questions to ask before you book

Prices and what affects them
There is no area surcharge for Pontyates. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Pontyates. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A flexing bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
